Eb                      Eb-
Pour mercy, mercy on me, set fire to history
Ab                         Eb-
I'm breakin' my own rules, I'm cryin' like a fool
Eb                         Eb-
Tall stories on the page, short glories on the fade
Ab                          Eb-
I been close enough to touch, but I never cared for love

Pre-chorus:

It's a church of burnt romances

And I'm too far gone to pray
Ab Eb   Fm            Bb             Eb    Eb-
It's a solo  song and it's only for the brave

Like there ain't enough dying stars in your sky
Ab                  Eb                        Bb-

And they'll say, "I told you so

Come on, when you know, you know"

All the lonely shadow dances from the cradle to the grave

It's a solo  song and it's only for the brave
